Ok but I just want to clarify before we valiantly and romantically take the fight to fascists...
... Did you muster the courage to vote for Harris, return2ozma?

Be more precise with your language and you have the answer. Fight is too vague. Punch a nazi in the face.
Nice try, FBI.
That's the neat part...
Tactical nukes.
Get organized with a socialist, revolutionary, anti-war, and/or anti-fascist organization near you that is visibly putting in the work and regularly mobilizing. Recruit more people to your cause and form coalitions with organizations that align with your values. I can personally endorse the PSL but certainly do the research for yourself to find a group that speaks to you personally & whose work you find to be the most fulfilling.
Experts in the field may be more knowledgeable, but there seem to be multiple attack vectors to me:
- Fight and advocate to reduce social injustice; people who feel powerless or left out vote right [even against their own interest]
- Support quality education that critically explores fascism and history, that improves media literacy, and logical fallacies etc
- Support social programs that help people in the scene get out
- Support social programs that prevent people from drifting into that scene
- Be a voice in criticism and watchdogging media, orgs, and [public] people
Stay armed.
That depends. How are we defining fascism here? That's the first step.
Would it be a stretch to suggest engaging in missionary activity as a solution?
Build a network of friends/neighbors etc. conceive plans to protect the ones who will be targeted first (POC, LGBTQI, ...) eventually either go underground or leave the country.
One way I've been trying personally is just gathering as much information as possible and remembering it. I've always been super bad at history and biology because of my resistance to memorization, but I'm slowly keeping up while trying not the get burnt out.
Of course, after I have enough info, that'll inform me of what the next move is, I hope, because if I do anymore now I'll just crumble
